Paper puppets (pirate, cowboy & fairy) Free Printables

-
*** Thanks everyone for your support and for finding me! This post has become my most popular, and most viewed. I updated these puppets so they download easier and with better quality. Also I added some mermaids & space robots puppets. Click here for updated puppets. 

Merry Christmas friends & family! 
I drew the following paper puppets for my sister-in-law for Christmas. She is going to laminate them before taping to popsicle sticks so they last a little longer. 

I hope you enjoy these free printables. (Click on image and save to your computer. Make sure to scale to correct size before printing).





And/or you can print them off with no color and have your kids color them. (I'm totally an ink hog, and am very choosy in what I print in color, so I try offer everything in color and black & white). 



Because I have no skills with a sewing machine my mom is helping me make this puppet theater. By helping, I mean I sit next to her and talk her leg off while she sews. 

Ours wont be quite this wide, just wide enough for a door frame, but the same idea. I found this design at Skip to my lou. Sewing is one skill I would like, but just looking at a sewing machine overwhelms me, what's with all those buttons, and needles?

UPDATE: This little Clothespin Turkey has become quite popular, especially on pinterest. I have had quite a few people e-mail me having trouble downloading the printable. This post has actual links where you can download. You are also always welcome to e-mail and I can send you the printable. Thanks!

Are you looking for a Thanksgiving activity? Look no further my friends. A Clothespin Turkey will solve almost any problem. Except cooking that darn turkey, something I have avoided and will continue to avoid until I die. 
Materials: -some cute kids -markers or crayons -scissors -glue stick  -clothespins
-Color your turkey. -You could even write what you are thankful for on the feathers. -Cut turkey, feathers and legs out. -Glue the feathers to the back. -Glue the legs to the clothespin. They do stick, just hold the legs on to the pin for a few extra seconds. 
And wa-la!
And then make your turkey do the turkey trot!
Here is your free printable.  Click on the picture and save to your comput…

Nativity paper puppets - FREE printables

I'm pretty excited to share this with you!!
I tried last year to make nativity blocks. I didn't like how they turned out. They needed to be a little wider to fill out the space. So this year I sketched several versions and finally made these cute little "round" nativity people. 
I never found the time to put them on blocks, perhaps next year. :) 
In the meantime here are your free paper puppets printable!
